Family Hospice Giving Society

For all of us at Family Hospice, the word family isn't just part of our name, it's at the heart of who we are (or our culture). Our family is constantly expanding as we open our arms to welcome loved ones into our care. The roots of our family provide strength and support to help us grow and tend to other families in need. We have been so fortunate through the years to have grateful members of our family come forward to help others. This is why we are creating a Giving Society, so that we may recognize your contributions either by name or anonymously. We couldn't continue to do the work we doand provide care for so many families without your help. We invite you to become a member of our Giving Society at a level that meets your needs and budgets. The Giving Society recognizes individual donors and businesses who have supported Family Hospice with a commitment of $1,000 or more, given as a one-time or multiple gifts, throughout each calendar year.

What is EFT/eCheck?

EFT, or "Electronic Funds Transfer," sometimes known as "eCheck," is a way of paying your pledge directly from your bank account instead of through a credit card. Simply enter your bank Routing Number and Account Number as printed on your checks (click here for an image) to avoid any potential interest charges and to put more of your gift to work for family Hospice through lower processing fees. To take advantage get your checkbook ready before making your online pledge.
